Developing Applications and Automating Workflows Using Cisco Platforms (DEVASC) — Question 134

What are two considerations when selecting the `best route` for a network device to reach its destination? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. MAC address
• B. IP address
• C. metrics
• D. administrative distance
• E. subnet mask

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C (metrics) and D (administrative distance) because these are key parameters used by routing protocols to evaluate and select the best route. The MAC address and IP address are essential for device identification and addressing, while the subnet mask is crucial for determining the network portion of an IP address, but they do not directly influence the route selection process.
